    Edinburgh stuff

    I just went to Edinburgh for 3 days. Nice city. Here's some kilt-stuff I saw.


    War memorial. He's so bonnie!


    William Walace. Haven't these people seen the documentary Braveheart?!? He's supposed to be wearing a kilt!


    Geoffery (Tailor) loom


    8 yards of tartan.

    Some excellent pictures thanks Greg, what strikes me is that quite a bit of those outfits would fit in today, maybe with some minor changes for modern sensibilities but still on the right gent they would look perfect.
